You find a CHP that drives a CHP Pick-up, and show him the truck and registration and I bet you will know more. I ran my flatbed for over five years before I was stopped.
As I said before, it did happen to me when I drove F450 flatbed with 9000lb forklift on it. Truck was 8 years old and registered by its 9000lb empty weight.
I went to DMV and that is where they made me to fill up GCWR declaration and that single point cost me about $500 on the spot and every year after as I got 30k weight stickers.
It had nothing to do with kind of bed I had (it was 10' flatbed).
Funny part was that with commercial registration, I had to move registration stickers to front plate.
I spoke with DOT officers on several occasions and being curious by nature - always ask question.
On some subjects 3 different officers would give me 3 different answers.
